'Jackie Brown' is a great fucking movie.

And it certainly is Keaton's best recurring role, maybe his best role ever. Well, until Multiplicity 2, The Beginning: This Time It's Personal is finally released.

Three movies in a row with no guest starring role from the director gives me hope that he finally realizes he's not an actor.

He couldn't resist, though. He's the "automated" voice on Jackie's answering machine.

dude!

It's a GOOD movie, but Tarantino is/was the most overhyped talented person on the planet. (He and Jimmy Kimmel after the Oscars: two geeks getting ready to watch 16 hours of splatter movies til their girlfriends come back from vacation.)

Jackie Brown is just so good, though. I need to buy me a copy of it so I can re-watch the dressing room scene.

I'm pretty sure there are other more over-hyped talented people (and fare more over-hyped LESS talented people.)

And I just remembered Pam was better in Mars Attacks! :D How is she on The L Word?

i remember seeing it when it came out, and the cinema was packed with people who (like me, facing it) wanted another quote-packed 'pulp fiction'. and we didn't get it, and i think we were all a bit put out

so otm. was disappointed with this the first time round, but watched it again last night, and it's great.

greatest. not to mention the best ever adaptation of a leonard book imo.

^cosign

luv dis movie

Yeah, I'm not sure I can call this my absolute favorite QT movie - but its the one I come back to the most often. Although, looking at my shelves right now, I have no idea what happened to my DVD copy.

this is some repugnant shit

not to mention the best ever adaptation of a leonard book imo.

I dunno. I have a lot of love for the movie of Get Shorty. Two totally different tones, obv. Both great Leonard movies, though.

I'm not sure I can call this my absolute favorite QT movie

I hesitate myself, but I think... ok, yeah. I can say that. Jackie Brown is my favorite QT movie.

IB beats this imho

I will fight you!

No wait... I won't.

whew shakey got all shaky there for a sec

is there an anigif of robert deniro having stand-up style intercourse with jane fonda's daughter yet

jane's niece, peter's daughter

fine but my primary point is the anigif, is there one

So good. It's always been my favourite, though maybe Basterds matches it? Time will tell. But I watched JB again only last week, oddly enough. Everyone is so good in this, even Chris Tucker ("you're catching a nigga off guard with this shit"), and the whole switch scene in the mall is just brilliant.

xp Lemme rip the movie, see what I can do. This could take a little while.

you would

Jackie Brown - Get Shorty - Out Of Sight is like the trifecta of great Leonard adaptations.

xp Hey don't request a gif and then insult me for offering. Doo-doo head.

i never requested a gif dog i just said is there one! so chill with the ad hominem attacks you rapist

that's a great shot

It’s such a *casual* film, even when shit gets wild.

yeah exactly

It's a great movie, great cast, great book, but to argue any Tarantino movie doesn't have his fingerprints all over it (for better or worse) and that anyone could have done it is crazy

AND he's literally the only director on Earth who was going to cast Forster and Grier as the leads in a movie in 1997

I remember reading an interview with Stephen King where he said his reward for finishing a novel was reading an Elmore Leonard book. I thought that a really wonderful compliment.

it’s a really great version of the kind of films and TV shows I normally hate

and yeah, Tarantino’s fingerprints are all over it. It is a movie out of time, like Forster & DeNiro & Grier, so all the locations & cars & outfits have a very specific 70’s look while also seeming like present day…down to like, the car Forster drives or the loungey carpeted bar they go to, Grier’s airline & uniform. Tarantino cares enough about that granular stuff to hire the kind of ppl who *also* care. Same with the music. To me his specificity is what defines his style

Y'all are my people, y'all know this.

But

please pass the milk, please

AND he's literally the only director on Earth who was going to cast Forster and Grier as the leads in a movie in 1997

yes, and probably the only one with the confidence to play out the entire heist scene twice & at that pace. The film is a miracle.

lol pp

Tarantino more about footprints anyway surely

QT while he's editing one of the numerous female foot shoots in his movies

Oh no, someone accidentally added sexual overtones to the scene in Jackie Brown where the first woman Louis has seen in many years seduces him, in a manner that establishes her propensity for boundary-pushing. No wonder Sally Menke got fired for this blunder.
